Hpus-E ok Lords, July 2. The Marquis of Lansdowue laid <m Ibti tabic the Report of the Committee appointed to inquire into the present state of Foreign Trade. The Noble Marquis said, the Com¬ mittee having terminated its labours, he -wis anxious to call their Lordships at- tentioti to the consideration of this im¬ portant subject, but it was not his inten¬ tion to propose any bill or measure up&n it. He trussed, however, that His Ma¬ jesty's Government would not fail to adept such measures as would tend to promote the views of the Committee. Lord Ellotiborongh expressed a wish that some measures might be adopted du¬ ring the present Session. With regard to the dutv on Timber, it was higher ou lo^s of Timber in an unfinished state, than on manufactured Timber. lie fiought a short bill n i^ht be passed to rectify the duty. The Noble Lord would not go into any detail on this subject, His Majesty's Ministers not bring pre¬ sent, who, no doubt, would be desirous of expiring their opiniuus upon the subject. The report -.va> then ordered to be printed, and, after some routine business, their Lordships adjourned. HocSE of Lords, July 4. The Report of the Secret Committee having been read, The Earl of Liverpool said, that in . consequence of the Report now made, he should give notice, that to-morrow he would present to the House a Bill with reference to the subject matter of thai Report. He felt bound to add, that in t!;e course he should recommend, he should be disposed to consult the couve- i.iiUOJ OftfcB tfttftSfttUttS t^teUM the ub- jectofthc charge, both as to time and circumstances. To-morrow he w ould explain the details more f illy. Earl Grey observed, that the pain and regret he originally felt had been increas¬ ed beyond measui-by the Report now ou the table ; his only wish and object, as a Member of the House, was to do Strict and impartial justice ; but he must repeat the objection he had urged on a former occasion, by protesting against this course of proceeding, which materi¬ ally prejudiced the case of the Illustri¬ ous individual. The accusation now came distinctly from a Committee of the Peers, which House might scon be called to act iu a judicial capacity upon the subject, and the charge was no less than an adulterous connexion with a menial servant, and a long course of licentious conduct. The Committee had reported, that this charge indispensably demanded solemn enquiry : from the beginning it was a case sacking compromise impossi¬ ble ; and yet, now the House was told that further measures were necessary on the part of those Ministers who had en¬ deavoured to suppress the subject, who had consented to acknowledge the Queen, and to allow her reception at Foreign Courts. The whole case was to be look¬ ed upon with dismay ; but what should be said to those Ministers who, being in possession of such evidence, had slept upon it lor more than six years, and in the. present state of the public mind, had 1 c}l it ^ifarthcrsuspended ? They had compromised not only the honour, but r ,,*vm ■ eren the safety of .th>> /•n.imtc.u. fVliccr* ) The Noble Earl had admit¬ ted, that the Queen must have lime for her defence, but he (Karl Gre\ ) was h\ no means satisfied thither Majesty would lose any thing by a fi-rll statement of the case and its proofs, after the authorata- ♦ive promulgation of her conduct by the Committee. An op^n Statement would put her iu possession both of the facts, and of the witnesses to support them, lie hoped, therefore, that a pirl of the proceeding te.-morrow would be to give the Queeu a distinct statement of the na¬ ture of the charges, accompanied by the atones of the witnesses. (ILur.) The Eml of Harrow by assured the House, that he had as deep a feeling as any man of the importance and dejicac> of this subject, and as strong an anxiety to preserve impartiality ; and the tone of the Kobie L*i J should not induce him to overstep the bounds he ought to pre¬ serve. If any injustice had been done to (he Queen, the House at least was an accomplice in it (cheers) ; for if ever the House had been decidt d upon a course of proceeding, it was in the appointment cf a Committee ; and those who had ob¬ jected to it had not ventured to hazard a division. It was impossible to ILten to *h*» distressing Report, without feeling, th :t if any Minister had proposed a pub- he enquiry in the first instance* the House would have scarcely permitted him to open his mouth. The Noble Earl had arraigned the conduct of Government for not baring earlier instituted some pro¬ ceeding npon the subject; but even now, late as it was, the exposure would be revolting and distressing. If it had been possible, by allowing her Majesty to re¬ main abroad, to preserve the public peace, no sacrifice would have been too great. He was satisfied, that until the facts contained in the report were pro- Ted, no prejudice would be done to Her Majesty by presumptive credence being given them. It must be considered in the light of a Bill formed by a Grand Jury, but God forbid it should be con- Moer«ri is binding. Lftid Caernarvon*could not avoid sav¬ in; a few words on this impoitaut ques¬ tion. Could it be believed, he asked, thai RhMajesty's Ministers intended to shorten the Session of Parliament, while ft matter of auch deep iutc:c;t was pend¬ ing, in order \o celebrate a coronation ? He alluded to the general feeling which existed throughout the Kingdom, and called upon Ministers to suspend, for a short period, that solemn celebration. No danger could possibly arise from the adoption of such a proceeding, and for his part, he thought that itwouldouly be paying due respect to the nation, w hich took so lively an interest in the subject which at present agisted every person iu the kingdom. Lord Barnley also recommended the postponement of the coronation. He could not exculpate His Majesty's Minis¬ ters in the course they had pursued, conceiving, as he did, that they were highly btameable. Lord Grey explained. If the charge against the Queen could be proved, it was one which admitted of no comprom¬ ise consistent with the interests of the country. Her Majc-ty was charged with no lebs a crime than of being guilty of a iot:g course of licentious conduct. It wih then said that it was a case of family difference ; but this he denied ; it was a great public question, and any compro-' roise whatever would have been deroga¬ tory to ihe dignity of the Crown, and in¬ jurious tii the best interests the people. Lord Liverpool also explained. He said it was never intended to represent the conduct of the Queen as a mere mat¬ ter of family difference. Assuming all that was slated in the Report to be true, i.c was still prepared to say, tint if her Majesty had remained abroad, the evils which now presented themselves would have been avoided. In making this as¬ sertion, he was persuaded that he was speaking the sentiments of niueiy-niu-- people out of a hundred. II" was nut at all afraid of declaring that the infor¬ mation laid before the Secret Committee hail Ijooii in p«.;cnc/t'.r» pyf W*. •;',— . !,\r some time past. When there was no al¬ ternative left on the arrival of the Queeu in this country, he contended that this was the only course to be pursued, and, great as the evil was, it was unavoida¬ ble. The Marquis of Buckingham said, that he concurred in the various postpone¬ ments which had taken place from time to time on this question. When all the endeavours for conciliation were found to bo of no avail, then it was, and not till then, that tlie Secret Committee was appointed, and this course he considered highly ju icious. The whole of the proceediugs met with his entire appro¬ bation. Lord Holland could not see the dis¬ tinction between her Majesty's being abroad or in this Country^ with respect to the propriety of inquiry. In both ca¬ ses he should have thought inquiry neces¬ sary; but how were their Lordships, as it was said, driven to investigation ? lie knew not how their Lordships could re¬ concile to their minds the extravagant offer of £50.000 to her Majesty before her arrival in England. With respect to the Coronation, bethought it would be decent and proper that the pageantry and rejoicing of such a celebration should be postponed. The House was then ordered to be summoned lor to-morrow.

On the quellion that the petition be brought up, Lord Liverpool ftated that afttr he had obtained leave to bring in the bill, he fliould move that a copy be pre¬ dated to the queen, and then the petition might be regularly taken into confident tion. The petition was ftrongly fupported by lord Grey and other noblemen, on the fide of the oppcfition, hut the motion of lord D3cre that cotmfJ be heard, was negatived without a divifiou. The earl of Liverpool then rofe to biing in the bill, the preamble of which would, he faid, fpeak for itfelf, and the allegations of which would be proved at the bar.

This Gentleman had collected a number of facts and put them together in a bag. He (Sir 11.

On tne lirst nig.1t that the message came down, he had warned the House, that the discussiou would goto shake the mo¬ ral of the country. ihe previous question was then carried without a divisiou. Lord Castlercagh must express his strong sense of surprise and regret, at the Speech of the Hon. Gentleman, (Mr. Lreevej,) iu which he had thought pro¬ per to make a personal attack on the Sovereign. Such epithets no man was entitled lo apply to that illustrious per¬ sonage ; for to no one could they be less applicable, Nothing could be less vin¬ dictive than the conduct of his majesty. lie (LordC.) would now refer to the message from tbe til roue, which he in¬ tended to have done ;n the earlier part of the evening. Iu the House of Com¬ mons, the question, he thought, should be Kept open, and in a suspensive, not iu a concluded slate. Though the House or Lords would probably send down a bill to that House, yet, by possibility, the bill might be thrown out in the other House, lie should move, that the Or¬ der of to-morrow, for resuming the ad¬ journed debate, be postponed to the 15th of August, when, if the fiouse was not sitting, a* there was no likelihood, it would become a lapsed Order.
